find the length of the radius of circle c. http://media.education2020.com/evresources/2092539_2f57b746-c73f-4a4b-8c7e-ce9ee207b927.png

A. r=1 B. r=3 C. r=12 D. r=15

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay that angle you see is actually in radians

OpenStudy (dan815):

when they say 4/9 pi they really mean 4/9 pi radius is our angle

OpenStudy (dan815):

that means this angle you see subtends a total of 4/9 pi radius units on the circumference of the circle

OpenStudy (dan815):

\[\frac{4}{9}\pi * r =\frac{20}{3} \pi \]\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh

OpenStudy (dan815):

yep :) so what is r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be r=15

OpenStudy (dan815):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you soo much

OpenStudy (danjs):

arc length = radius* theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (dan815):

dont let radians confuse you, its a very simple idea, we are saying the angle in terms of the radius units thats why there are 2pi radians in a circle beacuse the circumference of a circle is 2 pi r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you.:)

OpenStudy (dan815):

welcome

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah , i was looking for a easy explination that @dan815 just said... http://www.themathpage.com/atrig/arc-length.htm
